Part 57 (1/2)
I read about it today The crash was yesterday
DO ANY OF THE OTHERS KNOW?
It would not matter if they did They are loyal
The papers said nothing of the van They cared only about the A their breakfasts
GOOD REMOVE ALL EVIDENCE REPLACE HIM
It will be done

Monday, November 30 New York City
The fire at the New York City Police Impound on 22nd Street and the Hudson River was not neorthy It caused, however, a deluge of paperwork for the Sergeant whose job it was to guard the confiscated vehicles Most of those cars da infractions It would cost the city tens of thousands of dollars, but not at least for three or fouras possible to proc- ess the claims Jesef Mumballa's vehicle was completely destroyed as per homosoto's order The explosion that had caused the fire was identified as co from his van, but little importance was placed with that obscure fact
Ben Shellhorne noticed, though Wasn't that the van that Scott Mason had shown such interest in yesterday? A car bo, even if on police property was not a particularly interesting story, at least in New York But Ben wanted the drink that Scott had promised Maybe he could parlay it into two
”Scott, remember that van?” Ben called Scott on the internal office phones
”Yeah, what about it?”
”It's gone”
”What do you one?”
”Somebody blew it up Took half the cars in the iht care You were pretty hot about seeing it ” Scott enjoyed Ben's nonchalance He decided to play it cool
”Yeah, thanks for the call Looks like another lead down the tubes”
”Knohatcha mean”
Scott called Tyrone at his office
”4543” Duncan answered obliquely
”Just an anonye would be obvious
”So?”
”A certain van in a certain police impound was just blown up
Seeht want to know”
